Irrfan Khan has claimed that he agreed to star in Saat Khoon Maaf because he missed Vishal Bhardwaj.

The actor, who expressed his surprise at being cast in the film due to his lack of commercial appeal, also revealed that he is looking forward to working with Priyanka Chopra.

"The Vishal that I worked with when I played the lead in Maqbool is not the same filmmaker who's making Saat Khoon Maaf. He needs commercially viable stars," Khan told Real Bollywood.

"Let's be fair I'm not commercially viable enough to make a difference to a project.

"However, Vishal and I kept missing each other. Finally I spoke to him in Mussoorie the other day. He's writing the script there. He asked me to play a role in his film and I said, 'Yes I'd love to be killed by Priyanka Chopra. Which man wouldn't?'"
